I take it that you disable ABS and other assists when driving rain or shine. When you next board a vehicle (bus, train, plane), remember to insist that the driver/pilot turns off any automated assists and safety features.

As a further note, right now there's no way to trace that serial number to me.

Unless you count the printer driver, driver installer or the network connected printer itself calling home for warranty related reasons, reporting at the very least the serial number and your IP address, and whatever other personal information you probably gave it willingly.

Depends on the type of business. Web design or computer related stuff is fairly light on it I'll admit, but anything requiring insurance or inventory tracking is enough to scare off anyone who isn't a dedicated lover of paper shovelling.

That's why business owners hire other people to handle that stuff. They usually want money for their trouble but you can focus on making more of it.

On Windows 7 the c:\ProgramData path exists. On my system the file is over 200 MB, you can't enter the Data folder without UAC asking for confirmation, and the file is in use so it can't even be opened (usually).

I always thought that these notices are very odd. I mean, can I put up a sign that says "In no event shall Esben be responsible for any crime he might do" and expect it to have any effect?

Of course not, since that claim would be false. Software maker responsibilities are a different matter. Would you hold the Apache Foundation liable for damages if someone hacks your web server due to security holes in their code? No, as they don't claim or promise responsibility any more than Microsoft or anyone else with half a mind do.

The number of towers is irrelevant, as the cost to maintain them must vary wildly. You might as well compare the population densities; Finland has half as many people per square km as USA (16 to 31). Since almost 100% of Finland is covered by at least one GSM network (see coverage maps from Sonera, Elisa), the maintenance cost of the networks per person should also be higher.
